Safety? Customer support? Really?

What do you do if you're scammed on the darknet? Let me guess --- nothing because you can't identify who you're dealing with or where they are located.



Yes? The quality of products is millions of times higher than in the streets.

Everything gets continually tested by a lot of people. Entire forums dedicated to weed out bad sellers and identity good products ..

Yeah, sellers are usually super responsive and will normally fix any issue if you are polite and abide by the rules.

Ummm what exactly do you do if you are scammed in real life? Go to the police and file a complaint that will never go anywhere? Lol

Or you mean if in the real world you get scammed by a company? Can YOU really start a lawsuit? What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m?


What amount of money are we talking about? 10k,100k, 1m?

Zero. Lot of lawyers searching for clients with a legitimate legal case. They get a portion of what they win.


I meant how much money you got scammed for.

Lets say you bought a phone from Craigslist and its a fake one, what do you do?

You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks? What do you do?

There's so many ways that you can get scammed in the real world without recourse.

What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad"


You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks?

I have bought and sold on Craigslist. This is not how it works --- unless you're stupid.

What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad"

Yes. People choose to operate on the darknet instead of craigslist for a reason --- usually because they are doing something illegal. And scamming people is one of these illegal things.


I know thats not how Craiglist works. Do you even know how darknet markets work or what they are?

Escrows, vendor reputation, feedback, etc?

Something illegal depending on the jurisdiction

Legal =/= ethical
